I’m helping to train individuals who will be practicing medicine in the year 2050. Our understanding of the genetic and molecular biological basis of human health and disease is expanding at an unprecedented pace. Tomorrow’s physicians and their patients will benefit from a body of knowledge that presentday doctors can only dream of. In Medical Biochemistry, our faculty models a way of thinking and understanding that links the clinical presentation of a disease with the underlying genetic and biochemical cause and with its treatment as well. We include physician and patient inter views, which put a face — and a hear t— onto the topics we cover. It makes for some pretty interesting stuff. Our goal is to provide a foundation of knowledge in human biochemistry and molecular biology that will ser ve our students not only in their subsequent medical school training, but well into their careers. And the learning is just beginning!
DAVID SEIDEN, PH.D. Temple University ’71, Professor of Neuroscience and Cell Biology, Course Director Anatomy, Associate Dean for Admissions and Student Affairs • Dr. Seiden travels throughout the country preparing students in the approach to anatomy.
